Signs fire fighting

Some OSHA safety standards require signs, tags or markings to provide information on means of egress, exits, fire extinguishers, compressed gas cylinders and standpipe and hose fire-fighting equipment.

The premises must be equipped with appropriate firefighting equipment and with fire detectors and alarms any non-automatic fire-fighting equipment provided must be easily accessible, simple to use and indicated by signs. 

The appropriate fire safety signs should be used to indicate the location of fire-fighting equipment and fire alarm call points which should be on fire escape routes. If equipment and call points are located together they can be mounted on a panel to form a Fire Point. In crowded and irregular shaped work areas high level signs can make the location of fire exit routes and fire-fighting equipment easier to identify.

Ensure portable fire fighting equipment and fire signs are in place. 

Where a work activity on site may give rise to a particular risk of fire, the work must only be carried out if the person is suitably trained to prevent that risk, so far as is reasonably practicable. Fire fighting equipment must also be indicated by suitable signs.

Give this your serious attention. How you present yourself at the interview—your first face-to-face meeting with your prospective coworkers and bosses—is a sign of how important the job is to you and of your respect for the panel. Fire departments have a paramilitary command structure Orders go down the ranks to mobilize a trained, disciplined fighting force.
